Aci debate2 hw; Week 2:

I believe that the government should not ban the possesion of personal weapons. There are many cases in which personal weapons are needed. Self-defense is a major reason why people should be allowed to keep their own personal weapons. What should one do when they are being attacked by something or someone? Stand still and let the attacker do whatever they want while hoping that nothing bad will happen to themselves? Well if you have nothing to defend yourself with, then I'm sorry but that's the only option. On the otherhand, if the victim had a weapon on him/herself, it would give the attacker a great difficulty to inflict pain knowing that there is a chance the attacker could get harmed too. FYI: regular kitchen knifes could be considered to be weapons too. So if citizens were banned from possesing any personal weapons, what would happen to our kitchen cutlery and eating utensils? 2nd amendment
